Last updated : 07 January 2008 By C. Morris

The incentive for Sheffield Wednesday to get past Derby County in the F.A. Cup 3rd round replay is the prospect of a 4th round tie against Preston North End at Hillsborough.

While it may not the potential money spinning tie that the club may have hoped for, it is a home draw and it represents a good opportunity for the winners of the replay to progress further in the competition.

The 4th round ties are scheduled to be played on the weekend commencing Saturday 26th January. The 3rd round replay against Derby is at Hillsborough on Tuesday 15th January with tickets being sold at special rates.
